Sarah Mawhorter is an Assistant Professor of Housing at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Spatial Sciences, specifically within the Department of Economic Geography. Her research focuses on urban planning, housing policy, and the intersection of housing with social equity, aging populations, and higher education landscapes.
Her work explores topics such as public housing development in Indonesia, tensions between urban preservation and redevelopment in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, student housing dynamics near universities, and the health impacts of housing stability among older adults. She has authored/co-authored over a dozen peer-reviewed articles in journals like the International Journal of Housing Policy and Journal of Planning Education and Research.
Mawhorter’s research often combines empirical analysis with policy-oriented insights, addressing issues like land use regulation, informal housing quantification using administrative data, and the geographic typology of college towns in the U.S. Her contributions bridge urban geography, public health, and socio-economic policy frameworks.
Her recent work emphasizes the dual challenges of preserving urban heritage while managing growth, and the complex relationship between housing conditions and health outcomes in aging populations.
